FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The Latest on the sentencing of a man in the kidnapping of a baby taken from the woman of a slain North Dakota woman (all times local):

1:50 p.m.

The mother of a North Dakota woman who was killed and had her baby cut from her womb says she hopes a man convicted in the case never gets out of prison.

William Hoehn (hayn) was sentenced Monday to life in prison with the possibility of parole on charges of kidnapping and lying to police.

He was acquitted of conspiracy to commit murder in the August 2017 death of Savanna Greywind of Fargo. But the judge Monday labeled him a dangerous offender, and that increased his maximum punishment from 21 years to life with the possibility of parole.

Norberta Greywind says she doesn’t think Hoehn should ever walk free.

Hoehn’s ex-girlfriend, Brooke Crews, pleaded guilty in Greywind’s death earlier and is serving life in prison without parole.

A North Dakota man has been sentenced to life in prison for conspiring to kidnap a baby that his then-girlfriend had cut from their neighbor’s body and lying to police about it.

William Hoehn (hayn) pleaded guilty to the charges last month and was sentenced Monday.

He was acquitted of conspiracy to commit murder in the August 2017 death of Savanna Greywind of Fargo. Hoehn’s ex-girlfriend, Brooke Crews, pleaded guilty in Greywind’s death and is serving life in prison. She testified against Hoehn.

Hoehn said didn’t know Crews planned to kill Greywind but he admitted he helped to cover up the crime.

The judge granted prosecutors’ request to label Hoehn a dangerous offender, which enhanced his maximum sentence from 21 years to life with the possibility of parole.

A North Dakota man is facing up to 21 years in prison for conspiring to kidnap and lying to police in the death of a woman whose baby was cut from her womb.

William Hoehn (hayn) pleaded guilty to the charges last month. He was acquitted of conspiracy to commit murder in the August 2017 death of Savanna Greywind of Fargo. Hoehn’s ex-girlfriend, Brooke Crews, pleaded guilty in Greywind’s death and is serving life in prison. She testified against Hoehn at last month’s trial.

Hoehn admitted helping to cover up the crime, but said he knew nothing of the murder plot.

Hoehn is scheduled to be sentenced Monday morning. He faces maximum penalties of 20 years in prison for kidnapping and one year for lying to authorities.
